i just tested the ph level and it came out a 7.5 ish... i then did a 1/3 water change and my tap water is 7.5ish... i read that swords/mollies/guppies like 7.0-7.4ish......
i guess im gunna get some ph lowering stuff called " Proper pH "
this is insane i never had ph problems before but i never had swords before

I wouldn't recommend it. The difference between 7.4 and 7.5 is very small. PH changes are far more detrimental, and the PH is likely to be less stable with the use of PH up or down.
